15 Things You Didn't Know About Nicolas Cage

13. He Owned A Pristine Action Comics No.1 Before Selling It For A Record-Breaking Price

Oh, you want proof that Cage was a big Superman fan? How about this, then: Cage once owned a perfect copy of Action Comics No.1, which famously features the first appearance of the Man Of Steel. He bought the comic for around $150,000 in 1997. In 2000, Cage reported that the comic had been stolen and it was not recovered until 2011 when it was found in an abandoned storage unit. It was still in mint condition. Cage decided to sell the comic that year and netted a cool $2,161,000 in an online auction. It was, at that point, the highest amount ever paid for the comic. Apparently there are only five other copies in the world that are in as good condition as Cage's.
